Very sad news, from the overhead video it also looks like there was a team truck or team lead in the area when the blast went off. Old-tech coking ovens are no joke, like blast furnaces they are usually attached to they rarely ever go cold and to do so requires a hell of a lot of forethought...

Ah crapola, you are right

Grain dust is amazingly explosive in the right conditons and concentrations. I wonder if the mill lost air circ control during operarions and either didnt stop the process early enough or didnt wait long enough to restart the fans. Or both. Either way, very sad to hear about the lives lost

My cousin worked with Tom on M1 and I met him in passing when they were stationed at Pier 40 when he was retired and stopping by to see "how the boat was doing". He was a good kind guy and definitely someone you could tell had a huge depth of knowledge and skill. RIP.

From: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2n39dvp0po A 61-year-old man has died after he was sucked into a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine at a medical centre while he was wearing a heavy metal necklace. The man, who has not been identified, entered a room at Nassau Open MRI in...

Woof. Just get an 18-wheeler already

Other sources are quoting a passenger aboard who may or may not have survived showing that there was no A/C, no seatback entertainment and his seat lights did not work pre-departure, pointing (allegedly) to electrical issues. In the end, with the tail section surviving where the FDR and VDR...

Great video, especially the rarely seen official FDNY backhoe

Shoulda removed one of the tires for safe keeping with the NYPD until the owner got back

DId M9 respond with FF2? Id be surpised if they did, they are supposed to be the harbor/KVK boat and without a major fire I dont think they would have sent anything other than the fast boats.

Looks like they were moving astern off their dock to head out into the bay and lost throttle control. Not much room for error in the river.

Given the astern speed I wonder if they lost throttle control while maneuvering to dock and it got locked in. If crew were up in the rigging to strike and stow sails, which would be odd other than for show in confined waterways, they most certainly had a bad go of it for sure. Regardless...

If ever there was a haz-mat call....

1400hp on a safe boat seems a bit much, but I do believe this would be the Marine Battalion Chiefs ride and they have a lot of acreage to cover. Im pretty sure I saw it last week on the Brooklyn waterfront cam heading to the job on the Gowanus Canal. Possibly its first call?

Been a little busy in Queens this weekend, thats for sure.

Looks like the marine units have been released

Stevedores using slipshod practices with zero oversight or input from their bosses? Color me shocked. Nothing will change down there of course, the ILA is the ILA and they don't care if they get people hurt or killed, they just want their cut. It was like that back in the early 2000s when I was...

Looks like it went down in pretty much the same spot as the 09 midair collision. RIP to all
